I attended the yoga retreat on the 1st of October for 1 week. It was honestly one of the best weeks of my life! I set off from Fife in the early hours of the 1st to get to Oban to catch the ferry to the Isle of Mull, then had approx. an hour’s drive to the house. As soon as I walked in and was greeted by Zoe and Liliana, I knew for sure that I had made the right decision. Zoe and Liliana are so welcoming, I really did feel at home for the week. Add in Anna, the awesome chef that cooked our meals every day – I did not want to come home!
The other women that were guests on the retreat were lovely, we have kept in touch since returning home.
The daily yoga sessions were amazing. Anyone doing yoga at any level would love this. They adapt the moves if something isn’t right for you. There is so much care in each move to ensure you are getting the most out of it.
Everyday after lunch we went out for an activity, this ranged from long walks, sea swimming, boat trip (on a proper sail boat!) and a trip on the ferry over to Iona. You have the option of going or doing your own thing.
I came home feeling so refreshed – physically and mentally. I will definitely go back. I cannot recommend this highly enough. Beautiful location, beautiful home for the week, beautiful food, beautiful yoga and what topped it off was the beautiful women that ran the retreat. Thank you so much, Zoe, Liliana and Anna! I’m looking forward to seeing you all again.
